QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 08:05 AM) If there were no emotional attachment, it'd be "Ask how much his contract is for, and not be angry if it's under $2 million." But of course, that would mean Viciedo or Quentin goes to the bench, given our management. Who cares how much the contract is for? If it were for $50 I'd be angry because he'd still play, costing us games and impeding other more talented players from taking his spot.

Did Ozzie say anything after the game last night? I'd expect another vote of confidence for Juan and the blame deflected to the offense for not scoring enough runs. Juan can do no wrong in Ozzie's eyes. And you know it's bad when Hawk and Stoney are complaining about Juan's play on the field.

I look forward to 400 more ABs and continued stellar defense from Pierre the rest of this season.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 10:07 PM) Why is it that there's always one player Ozzie won't bench but is absolutely horrendous every single season? Because he's a terrible manager that should have been fired by now.

Doesn't Santos have awful stats whenever he is asked to come out for a 2nd inning of work?

Why the f*** is the millionaire man child not playing LF yet?

f*** you pierre!

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 09:58 PM) I hate when he bats with men on base....in fact I pretty much hate it when he bats. Luckily he gets the most ABs on the team.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 09:57 PM) But he runs like a gazelle and wears his hat cool. QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 09:57 PM) Another craptastic at bat by Pierre. Take the fastballs and then have to weakly swing when you get 2 strikes. Great plan! Does he ever hit the ball hard? Ever?

Pierre is embarrassing.

Ugh. Another AB for Pierre. This should be fun.

Maybe one day we'll get a catcher that can throw someone out.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 05:41 PM) I love Bill Simmons's writing style. Same here. That was a fantastic read.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 01:55 AM) You guys are serious? Of course vegans breastfeed. breast milk is the absolute best food for infants, and human breast milk is MADE FOR HUMAN BABIES! Cow milk is made for baby cows and not humans in the vegan view, so that is the difference. ^ this

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 07:59 AM) Where's Brian Anderson when you need him!?!? Can we sign him on a 1 day contract?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 08:55 AM) Nailed. The Sox have been making up ground pretty well with those two being next to worthless. If those two start to hit like they usually do - which I think will happen, just a question of when - then this team definitely can compete with DET or anyone else in the division. The problem with that is "usually" for Rios since the start of 2009 equals pretty bad, save for the first couple of months last year.

I truly feel sorry for Adam. This slump has got to be killing him.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 08:31 AM) So it appears as though Apple is diving full force into this "cloud" concept as well with their announcement of iCloud yesterday. Looks like we are going to continue to see faster, smaller, more capable devices without being cramped up with hard drive storage. Not that we didn't see this coming with the iPads, but this seems to confirm the trend of accessing media via the internet rather than storing it on your device. Can you explain to me how this will thrive in smaller towns with lousy 3g/4g and people like me who take the train underground to work?

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 02:25 AM) So you want to complain when they looked dead in the water, and now you STILL wanna complain about it when we are making ground and catching up to Cleveland?? You would figure that when they started turning it around people would be more inclined to actually start seeing a positive to the season, but it appears some people just want to b**** for the hell of it.. I can think of about 4 of you guys off the top of my head.. give it a rest already they've cut their deficit in HALF in what, a 4 week stretch? First it was there's no way they are gonna contend for the division after their start.. oops.. and then it was Cleveland got off to way too good of a start.. oops again.. Whats the point of being a debbie downer when they are actually playing good baseball lately? I don't get it. Coming from a glass half empty guy when it comes to sports, this is an excellent post.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 07:44 AM) Speaking from experience with 5 & 2 1/2 yr old girls and now our 2 month old son. It's HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to hold him...No I want to hold him...No I do...let's cry about it...then lets make the baby cry. Let's all scream and cry at the same fricken time until daddy cries!!!!! God help me. It's all worth it in the end though.....right??? I hear you. I think I may have the talk with the wife and say this is it. We're an older couple too. We are both receptive to adoption though. Maybe adopting a toddler is the route we take.

You guys crack me up. And I'll pass on the bacon cheeseburger, StrangeSox.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 03:00 PM) Two girls. Done, or going for the boy or trifecta? Whatever the wife wants to do. You know how that goes. And thanks again to everyone.

Ha ha! Thanks guys. And FYI, Sydney is a girl. I know the name can seem ambiguous.

Thanks everyone. Here's our little Sydney Parker:
